De Mekkerstee Goat Farm

At this organic goat farm in Ouddorp, you can watch the cheese-making process, taste goat’s milk ice cream and walk straight into the barn amongst hundreds of goats.

De Mèkkerstee is the perfect spot to easily spend a few hours. Children can enjoy themselves in the playground or petting farm, whilst you settle down for a coffee, homemade cake or a scoop of ice cream made from fresh goat’s milk. In the farm shop, you’ll find a selection of local produce, organic cheeses and fresh produce from the farm’s own grounds. Everything here is about transparency: you can see where the products come from and how they’re made. That makes a visit not only a treat, but also surprisingly educational.

This is how they (and you) make a difference

• The goats live on an organic farm with more space in the barn and access to outdoor pastures.
• They use the milk to make their own organic goat’s cheese and ice cream on the farm.
• De Mèkkerstee also operates as a care farm, offering daytime activities and work experience to people with psychosocial or mental health challenges.
• In the farm shop, they sell many products from their own farm and the local region, so you’re supporting local businesses.
